Dog Walking Hillsboro West End

About: Growing up, I was surrounded with pets and dogs of all breeds. I love all dogs and am currently raising my own Aussie Doodle who loves to have puppy friends around! Being a Dog Mom isn’t easy by any means, but I fully potty and house trained my pup Mocha. I work full time from home so I’m available all day to take care of any pet that stays with us. I also love being active, my own pup and I love to go on walks around the neighborhood & at centennial park! I work full time from home & I’m always available to tend to a pup’s needs. I can take pups for a walk in the morning + evening (avoiding the hot TN sun as much as possible!) as we live very close to Belmont & Centennial Park, with lots of space for pups to roam and explore! I have plenty of space for dogs to run and play around my house. Fair warning, our house does have a lot of stairs which may be more difficult on an older pup’s joints! For high energy and excited puppies, the stairs are great to get some exercise in if it’s too hot to go outside! I also always have lick mats or mental enrichment games on hand to keep a pup engaged throughout the day.

About: I’ve worked with a range of animals from puppies and kitties to seniors. I understand each animal is unique in its needs and routines, and will strive to give your pet the best care possible. PLEASE NOTE: I may not be available for day-of bookings. I currently work a 8am-5pm Monday through Friday, and would be available in the mornings before work, during lunch (can occur between 11:30am-1:30pm) and after work (most days). I am in town and free most weekends. I’d love to chat and see what works best for your pet. I am comfortable with taking out your pet for walks, bathroom breaks and cuddles. I can feed them on their schedule, I am comfortable with crates, and I am familiar with administering pills / flea medicine.

“Taylor is the best! She is so flexible with our ever changing work schedules. Always on time and sends the best pictures of our dog that make us smile! ❤️”

About: I am a dog and cat lover and always happy to take the best care of your beloved family member. I originally came from Wag! a different dog walking/sitting app with over 800 completed services with a 5 star rating. I trained puppies, taken care of senior dogs, administered insulin, and love caring for dogs of all sizes. I have done dog walking/ pet sitting full time for a few years and currently looking for new clients as I moved to this area from Nashville TN. I prefer sitting in my clients home, it makes me comfortable knowing the pet is in their space and have their familiar surroundings. And following the routine the owners have given me to ensure their pets are happy, healthy, and safe while they are away!

About: I have been pet sitting for friends, family members, and neighbors since I was in middle school. I have also always been a regular volunteer at the animal shelters, so I have experience with all kinds of dog personalities, behaviors, and activity levels. I have trained all my dogs myself so if you are looking for help with a puppy/newly adopted dog, I’d love to help encourage those good behaviors while you are away! I work a pretty relaxed, work from home schedule. I am extremely active so would love to help you out with walks while you are at work, but would also love some couch potato company if that’s what your pet is into! Currently not available for any new walk/drop in requests Mondays & Wednesdays from 11-2. For drop-in visits, I will always take the time to figure out what your pet needs, and never make them feel rushed! For walks, I will cater our time to whatever your pet is looking for, whether that is as much distance as possible or as many stops and sniffs as possible! The end goal is your pet coming home happy and healthy and I’m more than happy to do whatever that takes!

About: I care for pets the same way I care for my own family, with patience, reliability, and real affection. I pay close attention to the details that matter to each pet such as favorite toys, routines, quirks, energy levels, or comfort needs. I am especially good with puppies who need extra guidance and consistency and with senior pets who benefit from a slower pace and a gentle touch. I make it a priority to communicate with you often so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel at ease while you are away. What truly sets me apart is the combination of responsibility and genuine love behind everything I do which helps pets feel comfortable, understood, and cared for every moment they are with me. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already build my days around structure and responsibility as a Lipscomb student. My class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for regular walks, feeding times, play breaks, and check ins. I enjoy starting my mornings with movement, so taking pets out early fits perfectly. I also have long breaks between classes which allows me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day. On weekends I am even more available, so I can focus fully on longer walks, outings, and extra attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so it feels like a natural and fulfilling part of my everyday routine. I live in an apartment that is clean, comfortable, and set up to be a safe space for pets. When caring for pets in my home I follow whatever routines they are used to, keep their environment calm, and make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I am mindful of their comfort and always keep their feeding, crate, and potty schedules consistent with what they know. When I am caring for pets in a client’s home I make sure to respect their space and follow their established routines exactly. I keep everything clean, stick to the instructions you provide, and give your pet the same level of love and attention they would get if you were home. Whether I am in my own apartment or in your home my focus is always on making your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for.

About: I am very passionate about about both dogs and cats. I have extensive experience dog sitting. Throughout college every summer I dog sat for multiple families, most requiring I stay overnight with the dog. I have dog sat for a variety of breeds, ranging from very small to very large dogs. I have also watched cats as well, I simply have more experience with dogs, but would be grateful for the opportunity to hang out with your furry friend, whether it is a dog or a cat! I have also cared for dogs who are older and have to take medicine. Outside of this, I am a Registered Nurse working at Vanderbilt and am originally from Chicago but absolutely love living in Nashville! I currently work as a Registered Nurse with Vanderbilt. I am working 12 hour night shifts, meaning I am only working 3 days a week. With this schedule I have a lot of flexibility. On the days that I am not working I am available at any time of day, however afternoons usually work best for me since I tend to be sleeping earlier in the morning with my night shift schedule. I understand that every pet is different. They all some from different backgrounds, have grown up in different situations, and have different personalities. I want to meet your pet on their level and care for them in whatever way they need. If they are shy or energetic, I can shape the care I provide to best fit their needs. I am used to walking big strong dogs, as those are the types of dogs I have always had. I currently live in an apartment with a balcony, so there is not much room for a pet to run around at my place, but at your place I will ensure I am incredibly careful and only go into areas the pet is allowed to be in.

About: I am a very loving girl when it comes to animals. I have taken care of them for ages. My parents always made sure when I was little that I had an animal to take care of. I have many clients at home that I dogsit for, and I also worked at a preschool with animals. My job after the school day was done, was to take care of the animals. I can mainly do middle of day- to night. My schedule can be flexible, but it can also be stagnant. So, if I can I will always be available for you, and try my best to be! Usually at home I let the dogs go potty, I play with them, and I feed them. There was this one client that made me take the dog home and have her with me for 2 days.

“Erin is the best, she updates me on everything that happened during the walk and my dog is always so excited to see her. Book her if you’re smart!”

“Sarah was amazing with Hudson and was great at communicating with me. Will book with her again for sure!🫶🏼”

About: I am my friends and family’s go-to pet sitter for both cats and dogs! I’ve been independently pet sitting for them for over 10 years. I work from a quiet pet-free home and I’m around all day! I just lost my 16 year old golden retriever, so he provided me with dog experience from the puppy stage all the way to some pretty intense senior care the last few years of his life. I work from home in a quiet apartment so I’m available all day every day! I spend a lot of time at home with the exception of going to the gym most evenings for about 1.5 hours, and I go for a few daily walks. I live in an apartment that has access to a dog park/yard if your pup is social, or multiple paved walking routes if otherwise. I go for long walks daily so if they need that, it’s part of my routine anyway!

“Sarah was great! Right on time and sent lots of updates. Will use again!”

About: I had dogs in my house all my life! From puppy to 16 years old, from doodles to labs to minis. I love taking care of our furry family members I’m currently working part time a couple nights a week, so I will have plenty of time to care for and cuddle with your furry friends! I know every pet has their own unique personality and routine, so I’ll care for them exactly as you would. Whether that’s walks, playtime, medications, feeding, or cuddle time, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable while respecting your home and keeping you updated every step of the way.
